[Python-modules-team] Bug#929194: pycurl: annotate test dependencies with <!nocheck>

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: pycurl
Version: 7.43.0.2-0.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

pycurl is somehow part of a large strongly connected dependency
component and I don't quite understand how yet. While investigating, I
figured that its dependencies on nose and flaky are only needed for
running unittests. These can be annotated with <!nocheck> and thus
removed from the bootstrap problem. I used reproducible builds to verify
that this doesn't affect the outcome of the build. Please consider
applying the attached patch. How we remove pycurl from the bootstrap
problem remains a different question to be considered later.
